Stain on values

#Stain on values.

The Kerala government's repeated targeting of honest officials like Dr. M Rema and Dr. Sisa, simply because they refuse to bend to political pressures, is appalling. It also a clear violation of their rights. 

By dragging these principled individuals into cumbersome court proceedings, the government is not only wasting valuable time and resources but also sending a chilling message to other officials who dare to stand up for integrity and fairness.

It's evident that the Kerala government's actions are driven by a blatant disregard for meritocracy. And it is an unhealthy allegiance to political outfits like the SFI. Instead of appreciating officials who prioritize principles over partisanship, the government chooses to intimidate and harass them. This creates a toxic work environment where honesty is punished and corruption thrives.

The recent decision by the Kerala High Court to quash disciplinary actions against Dr. Rema is a testament to the government's failure to uphold justice and respect the rule of law. It's high time for the authorities to stop using the judiciary as a tool to suppress dissent. The government should start prioritizing the well-being of honest officials who strive to serve the people with integrity and dedication. Anything less would be a betrayal of the public trust. And it is  a stain on Kerala's democratic values.
